Am I the only one who is 100% not checking track before they go and get their results?

I'm not. Mainly because Oxford are notoriously slow at updating track and I think seeing an unchanged screen will do nothing for my nerves. Also, I want the experience of being around all my friends and teachers when I find out. Well this is how I feel at the moment anyway, I might crack on results day...

How come you won't be checking track?

Well, if I didn't make it into my firm, I wouldn't be able to pick myself up and walk into 6th form to collect my results, knowing I'd let myself down, and seeing everyone's expectant faces.

I'm checking track because I don't want to go into college to see i've failed then breakdown (hopefully that won't happen!)
I still think its too much of an 'easy' option though, waiting all these months just to find your fate on a computer screen..

AHHHHHHHHHHHH NO!
I've been waiting my butt off, thinking it was somewhere between 12th and 15th..
12 more days?! Seriously, this is stressful!
Over here, public schools get results like 2 months back.. And I can't get accepted into Uni until I get these results.
-hopes the days pass by quicker!!-

OH MY GOSH I can just imagine that! I can see everyone running around happy and me being the only person not to get in, and the journey to my school is a long one so I will just be a wailing wreck on the bus, AND I'm going with a friend so that's just going to be awkward if I don't get in. AHHH I hate this!........

I need to feel in control though, so I really want track to update if I can go to school. That way, if I haven't got into my firm I know that I can buy the independent and go to school ready to ring them up when I know my results - I couldn't bear it if I didn't know, went into school, got my results and then had to try and find a computer somewhere to check if they'd accepted me!!

Good point! i guess i jus wont be able to think practically if i dont do good, even though i have too think practically an sort it out XD oh i jus want to get it over an done with XD its sendin me crazy

That sounds SO SO soon! In the past hour I've suddenly had a major results freak out, they come so sporadically I'm never prepared and go into complete psycho mode, ARGHHHH

Btw, whilst I'm here, a question. I did my results at a private candidates centre, and they gave me the slip for Edexcel results plus, but they also gave a note telling me to email them between 7th-12th (or something) about my Edexcel plus slip. Only problem is I lost the note and can't remember what they wanted me to email them about, or why I had to do it. I would've thought that if I've got the pin, and I've logged in fine, that everything's done?

Can anyone think what this is about? I hope this doesn't mean I won't get my results... Do they need it to 'sign up' or something? I thought once you got your pin, it was all done.....
